[@CarlaHolley]

this was my absolute favorite of the 12x7 pointy leaves: "dusky combination of blue and purple, reminds me of the sky as it gets darker at night" yessss... ugh, I love them.

[@cydgay4230]

[@cecimarie8078]

This was so much fun to watch all the way through! I am just starting to gather a bead stash to start jewelry making. Your videos help me so much. Even watching the unboxing videos help me with ideas and to try to figure out what kind of beads I want to start with. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you have a great week~!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I am so happy to hear that, Ceci! Thanks for watching!

[@vickyrushton1783]

I'm glad to hear it, thanks Vicky!

[@cececollections5685]

Wow what treasures

[@karenraabis5296]

Gems!!! I love everything

[@fuzzylop9164]

Just beautiful

[@srvntlilly]

So jealous, lol! 😉 Noe, really, so awesome. What an amazing lady Mary Ann must be! The Sleeping beauty mine quit producing in 1986. I grew up in Phoenix (I'm almost 70, now), but when I was a kid in the late 50's and early 60's, my parents worked a lot with the missionaries on the Fort Apache and San Carlos Indian reservations, where they mined peridot (my birthstone). In fact there's a town there named Peridot. The Indian kids that went to the missionary high school gave me a full paper lunch bag of peridot. I was a dumb little kid and didn't realize the value of it, and just thought it was a bag full of green rocks. I did think it was cool that the rocks were green and kind of see through. I still hung onto that bag though, even when the paper was almost falling apart...until I was married and my ex made me leave it behind with a bunch of my other stuff when he decided to wander around the country and didn't want to drag it with us. 😒 I sure wish I had that now. Actually, on the reservation where it was mined and in Peridot (the town), it was pronounced peri-DOT, as in the word "dot". When I was going through some of my dad's things a couple years ago, I found a plastic bag of tiny, raw amethyst chips and torquoise nuggets. They're or were...? mined in the Superstition Mts. and Bisbee, AZ. I haven't quite figured out what to do with them. They're good quality for the most part, some of them almost perfectly clear with no inclusions, and deep reddish purple. But they're so tiny, nothing could really be made from them (mostly around 2mm or so). Besides, they were my dad's so I want to hang onto them. Still kinda would like to maybe at least get them polished. So yeah. There I go rattling on again. 🙄🙂

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks for all of the background on that! I love the Phoenix area, and have been there probably 5-6 times over the years. Now I would love to return for bead/gem related reasons!!

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

This is just to much I’m about to pass out these Gemstone or just fabulous. You have s fabulous godmother yes I went to here website. Thank you for the two days of treasury as always you no your stone

[@yvonnetromp5744]

now just waiting for some projects using some of these beads

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

When I have the time, you know I will share!

[@chriscirino9278]

Love the drop beads!!

[@sharonallen-pote4781]

Sleeping beauty mine is located in Globe Arizona. It is still open. It's a very small town about 50 miles north east of Phoenix AZ. I live south of Phoenix and have been to Globe many times.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks for sharing, Sharon!

[@naomiwendy2234]

Just an FYI: The Sleeping Beauty mine is closed.... so there's a strong possibility (looking at the size of beads) that you have some moderately "old" pieces.... those should be worth a decent amount.... Good for you Gina! 🤗

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks for the heads up!!

[@faithmly]

I would love to see a video of your bead room/ stash 😁

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

LOL, I've been asked that often. I am in the middle of a move right now, but once I get settled in the new place, I'm sure I'll do one. It might be a little while, though! ;-)

[@pjb31apb]

I appreciate these videos! They were both awesome. What an amazing blessing! I wanted to say also I appreciate the editing. I love hail videos but sometimes the ooh and aahs that go on get to be too much! I am glad you edited that out. Lol

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you so much for that! I really put a lot of effort into it, so I am glad to hear that it is appreciated. Too much of that gets on my nerves as well - LOL! 💜💜💜

[@maryzylema9699]

Hi Gina, I was looking back at some of your old videos and came across this one. I'm still jealous, wow what a awesome gift. Well thing is I have some of those tiny drops like yours and have been looking for ways to use them. Was wondering if you would have any ideas to pass along?They seem to small to wire wrap so I'm stuck. Thanks for any input.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks, Mary! I enjoy using the time drops as embellishments on the front of a necklace, as one example. They can be nice incorporated into beadweaving.

[@andreagibson7099]

MRS. GINA WOW BEAUTIFUL I LUV THEM ALL I TRULY 2 WIN THE NEXT GIVEAWAY. & IF I DON'T GOOD LUCK 2 THE WINNERS

[@debraweissgerber2379]

Beautiful 🌹

[@eileenatkinson834]

What beautiful beads! Where do you start? I'm eager to see what you create 😊

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Right?! Where to start is the question! ;-)

[@bluelily8289]

In case no one ever let you know, those 3 large pendant/focal beads near the end are not glass, they are volcano quartz. I have some of the same ones that are smaller.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

💜💜💜

[@karenraabis5296]

I can’t wait to see what you make🙁please tell us what you make with those!!!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I always do! ;-) It will take time, but I will be back with more finished pieces. Thanks for watching!

[@lisasmyth6408]

The blue lace bead at about 31:40 is not glass. It is blue lace agate.

[@mandywainwright8027]

2nd WOW!

[@avj6033]

I wonder if we are going to see a notice on your channel soon which says: „Due to storage and cataloguing issues there will be no more new videos for the next couple of weeks.“ 😀

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Haha! That would be understandable, though! 😀

[@christinarios4438]

Wow everything is beautiful. So does this mean you're going to cancel some of your subscriptions? Wait how are you going to organize all of that? I would have to ask for a week off from work. What gorgeous leaves.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

LOL - I will figure it out, don't worry! ;-)

[@sindy5100]

Gina I've got a question. I'm from Europe, if I would contribute on your Patrion, the Beautiful Beaders (25$), would it be possible to get the bead stash to Europe and do you know how much extra I would have to pay for the transport costs. Greetings, Sindy

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Sindy! I appreciate you asking. I looked up approximately how much it would cost to ship the package to Belgium, and it would cost me about an additional $10. If you would like to go ahead and do this, I would be happy to set up a special international option just for you at a rate of $35, including shipping. Please e-mail me at [e-mail], and let me know, so I can send you a special link to sign up. Hope you have a great day!

[@monicaschlarman6051]

Has anyone received their Bargain Bead Box this month?

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Monica! It is delayed due to Covid, but they said it should be shipping this week, I think?

[@swkrissie]

Sleeping Beauty Mine is in my hometown, it is named after the mountain range, and all of us growing up there had a lot of turquoise jewelry, with true turquoise. us.geoview.info/sleeping_beauty_mountain_silhouette_above_turquoise_mine,71476222p

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

That's so awesome! I LOVE AZ so much - I've been there around 6 times, and every time I want to pick up and move there. Thanks for sharing the additional info! I just didn't have time to do much "digging" when I was filming the video. 💜

[@yvonnetromp5744]

Love to view your videos, but if you could keep a more steady hand when showing the beads it would be more pleasant to watch

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I will continue to always do my best!
